Rain water collection

[TheGamer (DayZ) 2]

I saw the new update where you can collect water in rain. It would add more realism if player would be forced to boil that water before drinking in order to not get sick. In real life if you will drink rain water you may get sick after that. So it could be 50/50 % if you will be sick or not. P.S. Just a little suggestion :D

This will be a feature later down the line, hence the water purification tablets.  :)

You only have to boil it if it's contaminated, if you just collect rain water in a clean container there is no need to boil it.
